The Utah County "Employee of the Month" program strives to recognize employees for their outstanding contributions made to Utah County.

The "Employee of the Month" Committee comprises employees who are representatives from various departments who each serve a two-year term. The County Departments are divided into six groupings that are comparable in size, and a representative is selected from each group. The Committee typically meets the last Wednesday of each month and the representative is responsible for gathering nominations for employees from their assigned departments. The groups are rotated so that every six months each group is eligible to present their nominations, and an employee is selected as the Employee of the Month for that particular month.

The following may answer questions you have regarding this program:

• *All employees are eligible for nomination except for: elected officials; 1000 hour time limited positions. (*If an employee has been selected as an Employee of the Month, they are not eligible for selection for another five years.)
• Anyone (preference would be a group of two or more) can nominate an employee at any time by sending your representative (or Jane Ivie/ Personnel-Chairperson of the Employee of the Month Committee) your nomination. GroupWise is a wonderful and convenient way to do this! A nomination form* is available from your representative or on the internet.
• A nomination should include comments addressing the ability the employee has working with fellow employees, supervisors, the public, personal initiative and job performance.
• The nomination will then be submitted when the group that includes the nominated employee's department is scheduled to present their nominations to select an employee of the month for that month.
• The selected employee is announced by the Commissioners during the first commission meeting of the month.
• The selected employee is given a certificate by the Commissioners, a picture of the employee is placed in the main level of the Administration Building on the "Employee of the Month wall" and they receive an additional day of vacation. They are also eligible to be considered for the "Employee of the Year" (chosen from all the employees of the month for the months of January thru December.)
• The selected employee for the "Employee of the Year" is typically announced during the Recognition Luncheon held in December.

The following is a listing of the current Representatives, the Departments they represent, and the times their nominations will be presented for selection: (Note: If the meeting is held in January, it will be the selection for the month of February)
